I've tried searching but bio is too short of a word to search on so here is my problem...

I'm trying to format my bio section. Sometimes it takes the html and displays it correctly other times it displays the actual tags and treats the whole thing as literal text.

What am I missing?

Thanks,

John

Hi John!

Do this:


<html>
your bio blah blah blah

some html code

blah blah blah

</html>


BTW - thanks for searching - it's hard sometimes!

Try going into the control panel and edit your BIO there, sometimes
editing from your home page doesn't take.

THANK YOU!!!!

I was going crazy with this, last night I spent hours trying to format it. I had the <html> tag as suggested. But ultimatly it appears the problem was as Allen had suggested.

Thanks, again I wasted may hours trying to get this right!!!

This is usually only necessary when there's a problem with the html code ... like an unclosed tag or something.

I have anohter question...

Whenever I use the bold tag <b> my text changes color to blue? did I mess up my css?

Thanks,

John,

Nice job on your site :thumb I like how you personalized "Prints and Gifts"

Comment: you put the "shades of grey" graphic in the footer - really nice touch - but the text underneath cannot be read - need to change that color...

I'm sure that one of the HTML experts will be along later and answer this question - hang on a bit, ok?
